I had been happily working in the same company as a graphics designer for over ten years, so it came as a huge surprise when one day, without warning I was made redundant. In fact, most of the people in my department lost their jobs that day. When the personnel manager gave me the bad news, she explained that the company had been taken over by a big multinational corporation that was demanding a lot of changes. So, one day I was in a comfortable job with a generous salary and plenty of annual leave and the next day I was unemployed. While it was nice to have time on my hands, I knew I would have to find a job fairly quickly. I soon found out that it wasn't so easy. No one was taking on new staff. Every morning I searched the Classified Ads, but there was nothing suitable, not even part-time positions.
Finally, a friend asked me if I was interested in helping out in her new cake shop. She needed somebody to deal with customers and to help her with the cake designs. At first, she could only pay me by the hour at rather a low hourly rate. To my surprise, I love the work.
I've been a cake designer for three years now. I'm so glad I didn't turn down my friend's job offer. We have so much work and now I'm no longer an employee. My friend and I are now partners in the best cake shop in town.
